Focusing on the unique therapeutic practice of mbap mbugi, this book explores its role within the Yanda society as a transmission of traditional knowledge rather than through apprenticeship. It emphasizes the generational passing down of techniques in Yanda traumatology, highlighting its effectiveness and cost-efficiency compared to biomedicine. The practice, classified as massotherapy, employs bare hands for treatment and is presented as a valuable alternative for managing bone trauma in Cameroon, showcasing its rapid results and enduring relevance.
